Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 575 Breaking Limits, Touching the Characteristics of Space!
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, gradually setting in the east.

The moon is as cold as water.

Jiang Ning stood on the deck, but his gaze was fixed on his own control panel.

[Source Energy]: 31773
Over the past few days, his energy points have returned to over 30,000.

Then, he had a thought.

The number of energy points decreased rapidly.

[Source Energy]: 11773 (31773→11773)

As the energy points decreased, Jiang Ning closed his eyes.

at this time.

The strange phenomenon overhead suddenly intensified, with ripples in the void spreading like waves.

Suddenly, the lake was filled with wind and waves, and the waves became huge, crashing against the boats.

The thick iron chains that stretched deep into the lakebed snapped straight, and the boat creaked and rattled.

As the strange phenomenon overhead intensified rapidly, the wind rose half a meter high, flipping over part of the ship's hull and crashing into the cabins and rooms.

On the previously deserted Yanghu Lake, curses erupted, the commotion grew louder, and torches were lit, illuminating the multi-story ships.

At this moment, Jiang Ning entered a strange state.

As he closed his eyes, ripples spread across the sky above his inner world.

Ripples spread downwards from above, enveloping him.

"How did the spatial ripples from the outside world appear here?" Jiang Ning was taken aback, looking at the spatial ripples that appeared in the sky above the inner world, his mind gradually being drawn to them.

outside world.

A series of footsteps sounded.

Zhong Yue immediately went up to the deck.

"Inspector Jiang?" He had just opened his mouth when he saw Jiang Ning tilt his head back and close his eyes, looking calm and peaceful. His gaze then sharpened.

"Is he...comprehending?" Zhong Yue thought to himself.

Then he looked up at the sky above him and saw that the void seemed to be shattered.

The spreading ripples were many times stronger than during the day.

"This secret realm will definitely open as soon as tomorrow, or at the latest the day after!"

"It seems to be much faster than I originally expected!"

A thought flashed through Zhong Yue's mind.

After observing the surroundings for a moment, he looked away.

Although the increased ripples in the void caused the wind and waves to rise sharply on screen, everyone was already prepared for such changes.

Each iron chain connecting the hull extends deep into the lakebed, ensuring the hull's safety.

Zhong Yue's gaze fell on Jiang Ning again, but Jiang Ning still did not make a move.

Stand still, tilt your head back and close your eyes.

at this time.

Footsteps sounded behind Zhong Yue again.

“Grandpa Xuan!” Zhong Ling’s voice rang out.

"Keep your voice down!" Zhong Yue turned around and gestured.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Ling slowed her pace, a look of confusion in her eyes.

Zhong Yue pointed ahead, and Zhong Ling came to the door and immediately saw Jiang Ning on the deck.

“Brother Jiang Ning, what is this?” Zhong Ling asked, puzzled.

“I’m gaining insights!” Zhong Yue said.

"What insights did you gain?"

“I don’t know either!” Zhong Yue shook his head and continued, “But one thing is certain: this kind of opportunity will definitely benefit him!”

"So, what do we do now?" Zhong Ling asked.

"Don't disturb him, and don't let the servants disturb him!" Zhong Yue said.

“Then I’ll go down and give the orders right away!” Zhong Ling said.

"Okay!" Zhong Yue nodded. "You should go and rest too! There's nothing much to do tonight, except that the Yanghu Secret Realm is about to open, which has caused the strange phenomena to expand! I can handle things here!"

“Okay, Grandpa Xuan!” Zhong Ling nodded obediently.

He glanced at Jiang Ning a couple more times before turning around and walking back.

After Zhong Ling left, Zhong Yue remained quietly standing in the same spot, waiting for Jiang Ning to wake up.

He knew that this suitable Jiangning should not be disturbed.

Jiang Ning's state of being lost in thought and oblivion is extremely rare; each instance is a serendipitous opportunity.

In the early stages of the martial arts path, innate talent and aptitude are the most important, but as one progresses, comprehension becomes more crucial.

Such a state of complete absorption in the world is often a moment of enlightenment, a stroke of luck, which can be equivalent to several years of ordinary effort.

Time passes slowly.

After everyone investigated, the dramatic change on the lake was quickly resolved.

Zhong Yue looked at Jiang Ning, then simply sat down on the ground and waited for Jiang Ning to wake up.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes only after the bright moon had traversed three-quarters of the sky.

“Prefect Zhong!” He was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhong Yue sitting on the ground to the side.

"You're finally awake!" Zhong Yue said.

"Has Prefect Zhong been waiting for me to wake up?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Yes! I'm not in very good spirits to begin with, and this has made me dizzy and lightheaded!" Zhong Yue yawned.

"Thank you, Envoy Zhong!" Jiang Ning bowed.

"No need for thanks!" Zhong Yue clapped his hands, stood up, dusted himself off, and staggered into the house.

He didn't delve too deeply into what had happened to Jiang Ning.

As Zhong Yue left, Jiang Ning also turned his gaze back to the control panel.

He had some doubts and speculations about the changes that had just occurred.

[Skill]: Wind and Thunder Step (1/9000 after eight attempts) (Traits: Breath of the Wind (Light Green), Deep Still Wind (Dark Blue), Spatial Rhythm (Dark Blue))

【Spatial Rhythm (Dark Blue)】: You can feel the presence of space.

Spatial rhythm?

Upon seeing the changes on the panel, Jiang Ning's gaze immediately sharpened.

Deep Blue level characteristics.

It's related to space!
He immediately thought of Ye Zhengqi.

When it comes to spatial abilities, Ye Zhengqi is undoubtedly the best he has ever seen.

One sword strike is enough to temporarily trap Li Sixiang.

With him by her side, she could even use a movement technique comparable to his shrinking-the-ground-to-an-inch technique, instantly taking him far away.

"With the characteristic of spatial rhythm, I should have a good talent in space. I just wonder how my talent in space compares to Ye Zhengqi's?"

As Jiang Ning looked at the changes on his panel, a thought flashed through his mind.

Then he thought of the woman in the ice coffin earlier.

After the woman came out, she hid in a deeper space.

This method is clearly very clever.

"How does she compare to that mysterious woman?" The thought flashed through his mind again.

The more he experienced and the more he saw, the more mysterious the world seemed to him.

Subsequently.

He closed the panel and shut his eyes.

In an instant.

The winds around them grew stronger, the waves were high and the ship began to rock, and the waves rose nearly ten feet high, surging into the ship from all sides.

This unusual movement once again caused a commotion to rise from the surrounding lake.

"Benefactor, please stop!" Just then, a benevolent voice suddenly rang in Jiang Ning's ears.

Jiang Ning suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the lake shore.

He immediately saw a kind-looking monk sitting cross-legged in the center of a small boat.

At this moment, the light boat was enveloped in golden light, and amidst the raging waves, it remained as stable as a foundation, unmoving.

Beside the old man, he saw a familiar face.

Golden Cicada!

Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, Jin Chan, with her red lips and white teeth, smiled at him.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning bowed to the two people on the light boat.

He did not forget the kindness Jin Chan had shown him.

The subsequent cultivation methods of the Vajra Indestructible Body came from the teachings of Jin Chan.

"Benefactor, why not come over for a chat!" The old monk's voice rang in Jiang Ning's ears once again.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then leaped up.

He landed in the lake, waded through the waves, and after a few leaps, he landed lightly on the small boat.

"Greetings, Master!" Jiang Ning greeted the old monk with his hands clasped together.

Judging from the old monk's demeanor and bearing, he knew this old monk was no ordinary person. He felt that if a conflict were to break out, he might not be a match for him.

"Master Jin Chan, it's been a long time!" Jiang Ning greeted Jin Chan again.

"Envoy Jiang, it's fate that we meet!" Jin Chan smiled.

“It’s fate!” Jiang Ning nodded.

“Benefactor, I also see that you have an affinity with Buddha!” the old monk said to Jiang Ning indifferently, his lowered eyes revealing his high monk demeanor.

“Master, I am not pure of heart and have a fondness for women!” Jiang Ning hurriedly said, startled by his preconceived notions from his past life.

"Amitabha, it seems you have some misunderstanding about Buddhism!" the old monk said slowly.

"Master, are you from the Vajra Temple?" Jiang Ning asked.

"This humble monk comes from Jinguang Temple!" the old monk said.

Golden Light Temple?
Jiang Ning was stunned.

He could sense that this mysterious old monk had cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body and had achieved a very high level of mastery.

The complete lineage of the Vajra Indestructible Body is generally only available at Vajra Temple.

He had never heard of Jin Guang Temple.

"My martial uncle left the Vajra Temple years ago due to differences in ideals, thus abandoning his martial arts cultivation and founding the Golden Light Temple," Jin Chan said from the side.

"How did the master become so strong?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Reborn from the ashes, reaching new heights!" The old monk smiled slowly.

The surrounding wind and waves instantly calmed down with his smile.

"I admire your skill, Master!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in respect.

He roughly understood.

This old monk must have held a very high position in the Vajra Temple.

The fact that Jin Chan addresses him as "Shishu" (a respectful term for a senior martial arts master) reveals their seniority and status.

The fact that he could leave the Vajra Temple safely, carrying the lineage of the temple, demonstrates his extraordinary character.

Now, reborn from the ashes, it has reached a new level.

His martial arts skills must be incredibly high.

Is he a top-tier Grandmaster of the second rank, or a peak martial artist of the first rank?
A thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

"Your Vajra Indestructible Body is of extraordinary skill!" the old monk said.

"I was fortunate enough to receive instruction from Master Jin Chan!" Jiang Ning said.

Upon hearing this, the old monk saw the golden cicada with its red lips and white teeth.

Jin Chan nodded immediately.

"I see!" The old monk nodded: "To have attained such profound attainments solely through oral transmission is truly a testament to your extraordinary talent and deep affinity with Buddhism!"

Jiang Ning smiled without saying a word; he could sense that the old monk no longer had that thought.

After a brief exchange, Jiang Ning leaped up, walked on the waves, and returned to the ship.

"Uncle-Master, what level has Benefactor Jiang's Vajra Indestructible Body reached?" Jin Chan asked the old monk after Jiang Ning left.

"It has transcended the realm of perfection and reached the level of innovation!" The old monk looked in the direction of Jiang Ning, his expression filled with emotion.

"Innovate and bring forth new ideas!" Jin Chan was taken aback.

The old monk nodded: "Of all the geniuses I have seen in this era, he is the most outstanding!"

"It's a pity he's not one of us Buddhists, nor does he have any intention of joining Buddhism," the old monk shook his head and sighed softly.

"Your martial uncle has such a high opinion of him?" Jin Chan asked in surprise.

He knew what kind of person this senior uncle was.

He was the most deeply rooted in Buddhism, the most insightful, and the most talented person of his generation at Vajra Temple.

If this senior brother hadn't left the Vajra Temple back then, he would be the abbot of the Vajra Temple now.

Back then, due to differences in ideology, this senior martial uncle destroyed his dantian, thus ruining his martial arts cultivation.

Afterwards, he went outside and comprehended the profound meaning of the Nirvana Sutra.

His body was reshaped and revitalized, not only recovering all the previous damage, but also raising his martial arts cultivation to a higher level.

He has long since joined the ranks of the world's strongest.

Therefore, he was immediately surprised to hear his senior uncle's evaluation of Jiang Ning.

Just then, the old monk spoke up: "I have mastered four of the six great powers of Buddhism. I can see far more than you can!"

"This person is very young, yet he has completed several blood transfusions at the third rank level. Moreover, his Vajra Indestructible Body has surpassed the perfect extreme realm. His combat strength has already surpassed that of ordinary grandmasters. He must be a strong person among the third rank!"

"If you encounter danger in the Yanghu Secret Realm, you can go to him immediately!"

"I see that this person is insightful and clear-minded. Since you passed on the Vajra Indestructible Body to him, he will surely help you!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Chan spoke up.

"Uncle-Master, as far as I know, this Inspector Jiang is cultivating the Nine Blood Transformation Technique at the third rank. Do you think he can succeed?"

"That's hard to say!" The old monk shook his head: "The Nine Blood Transformation Method has been traversed by countless geniuses throughout history. Those who can walk this path are all geniuses who overshadow their contemporaries and are invincible in their realm, but in the end, less than one or two out of ten can achieve a martial arts legend!"

Why is it called a martial arts myth?

"Because those who succeed become legends of their time!"

"Although he is exceptionally talented, reaching this level is no longer something that can be determined by talent alone!"

"Timing, opportunity, and destiny"

"Each one is indispensable!"

the other side.

Jiang Ning returned to the deck of the ship.

I couldn't help but smile.

The breakthrough in Wind and Thunder Steps allowed him to clearly feel that his mastery of the true meaning of wind had reached the level of connecting heaven and man.

As for the rules involved, they are those that greatly enhance movement techniques, namely, merging with the wind, or rather, merging with space.

In his insights.

This may be touching upon the profound mysteries of space.

When integrated into space, it becomes unobstructed and unimpeded, and its speed is multiplied.

"In that case, in a few days, I can consider the sixth blood transfusion!"

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

He walked towards his room.

203.

He glanced at the number on the door and then pushed it open.

next moment.

He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

There is already someone in the bed.

Although the room was dark, he could see the woman's face on the bed.

It was Zhong Ling.

Think about it for a moment.

He closed the door again.

Although he could sense that Zhong Ling had feelings for him, Zhong Yue also seemed to be trying to bring them together.

However, with Wang Qingtan already in the picture, he has absolutely no such thoughts now.

Moreover, in his eyes, Zhong Ling was still too young and hadn't fully developed yet.

Having lived two lives, how could he bring himself to do it?
He closed the door and went back to the deck outside.

With his liver full of Wind and Thunder Steps, he began to ponder which skill to choose next.

The three ranks have undergone nine blood transfusions, and there are still three more blood transfusions to be fulfilled.

Whether it's the Wind and Thunder Steps or the Water and Fire True Energy, after reaching the eighth limit-breaking stage, the energy consumption for further breakthroughs is enormous.

Furthermore, the recent changes on the panel made him realize that the higher the grade of a martial arts technique, the stronger its derived characteristics, and the greater the improvement to his strength and foundation.

Therefore, his goal is no longer satisfied with the lower, middle and upper levels of martial arts.

He then focused his attention on the Springtime Manual on the panel.

[Skill]: Springtime Manual (Incomplete) (Mastery 121/2000) (Cannot be upgraded)

【春时宝典（残缺）】：惊蛰（圆满89/1000），立春（圆满3/1000），雨水（圆满237/1000），春分（圆满7/1000）

"Among the twenty-four solar terms, the spring solar terms are divided into six major ones."

"Awakening of Insects, Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, Spring Equinox, Pure Brightness, Grain Rain."

"Now that I only need the two remaining fragments of the Qingming and Guyu scrolls, I will be able to fully master this superior martial art."

"I wonder how the letter I sent to Guangning Prefecture is doing? Have you been able to find the fragments I need?"

Looking at the panel, Jiang Ning's thoughts raced through his mind.

He was filled with anticipation for the remaining scrolls from the spring.

This is because, compared to internal alchemy health cultivation, this method is hundreds or thousands of times more efficient at accumulating liver experience points.

Once he fully masters this technique, he can quickly accumulate enough experience points.

Unlike internal alchemy, which involves breathing exercises day after day, this method does not require such practices.

It takes several months to accumulate enough experience points for a single breakthrough.
